What does this look like?
At the moment most landscapes in the Lake District are structured primarily around farming for livestock. A whole range of other benefits can spring from this, but they play second fiddle to that primary purpose. In the future, we’ll aim for landscapes that are shaped more explicitly around the full range of benefits for society; from managing floods and providing clean water, to generating clean energy, to tourism, health, and fostering a sense of community and identity. As well as producing high quality, local food – of course, we wouldn't want this to stop.
